Maintenance Tips for Split Air Conditioning Systems

Split air conditioning systems are widespread among Australian homes and offices. The ease of use and powerful air conditioning makes them a popular
choice for all. During peak summer, your systems are working at peak performance to deliver relief from the rising mercury, which can get very
hot in Melbourne especially.

To ensure that your split ac unit remains at optimal performance across the rest of summer here are a few key tips to follow.

Replacing filters regularly

Filters are one of the most critical components of your air conditioner. They circulate and clean the air properly, hence need to be changed frequently.
As a matter of fact, dirty filters can become a source of airborne bacteria to spread throughout your house. Changing the filters depends on how
often you use your split system. Generally, once a month or once every 2 months is a safe thing to do. It’s also a healthy habit to follow by vacuuming
any dust, cobwebs, and grime from the filter occasionally.

Cleaning the compressor

Your AC’s compressor plays the role of compressing low pressure and low volume gas to convert these into high pressure and high temperature as needed
for cooling. Ensuring to clean the compressor frequently will enable better cooling and better, quality air. Oil specially designed for the ACs
can be used for its longevity.

Evaporator coils

When air passes through the air conditioning system, an evaporator coil absorbs the heat to let cold air throughout the space. By replacing old evaporator
coils, you can significantly improve air flow and air circulation inside your residential or office space.

Turning off power supply during off-peak times

During the summer, your usage is at its peak. But towards off periods like the end of the season or perhaps when you head off for holidays during the
summers, you should shut off the power supply completely instead of just turning it off. Cutting off the power supply prevents the unit from using
electricity when it’s not in use.

Regular service

Getting your split air conditioner serviced by experienced professionals will increase its longevity and keep it performing across many summers. Service
only needs to be performed every few years, unless there are noticeable, major changes in its performance.

Tips for Keeping Cool Throughout the Summer

The Melbourne summer can heat up quite a bit, with the mercury rising to 40s in a few areas. The heatwaves can keep the need for sunscreen pretty much
there throughout the season, with one hot day blurring into the next. Here are a few simple tips to keep you cool at home and when you step outdoors.

Stay hydrated with enough water

Ensure that you have plenty of water and electrolytes to keep your body replenished as the intense sunrays can make you more dehydrated than usual.
Extreme dehydration can lead to heat exhaustion and even heat stroke in some cases.

Turn off unnecessary electric devices

From TVs to computers, all electric devices emit heat when in use, but even on standby! Whenever you’re not using a gadget, turn it off to avoid the
unnecessary heat from making the room stuffy.

Maintaining airflow

Not having an air conditioner doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be able to keep your home cool during the summer. Proper ventilation by opening all your
windows and doors when possible, will properly circulate the air throughout your home. A closed space can feel like an oven as the heat gets trapped
inside.

Wear cotton

Cotton is indubitably a cosy material, and well-known for excellent ventilation. Wearing loose cotton clothes and using cotton linen at home will help
you easily stay cool and comfortable.

Shade yourself from the sun

It’s easy to use an umbrella if you’re outside, but how do you keep the sun’s blistering rays from heating up your indoor space? Blackout shades can
do the job and shield your room while insulating the cool air within, so you can enjoy and keep the heat at bay.

Using the air conditioner properly

Your air conditioner is the best way to forget about the summer outside, but it’s best to do so without raking up the electricity bill. Setting it
at the correct temperature, and making sure the compressor and filters are clean, will help you achieve this.

Plan on keeping your cool throughout the sweltering summer? There’s no better way than with Colby Cool. Get in touch with an expert to install the
perfect cooling for your Melbourne home. Call us now on 03 9796 1444 to find out more about our extensive range of reliable air conditioners.

3 Reasons Why You Need an Evaporative Cooling System

HVAC systems suck up about 40% of energy in residential and commercial buildings. Doesn't your home or business deserve better? Take a look
at how professionals use evaporative cooling to cut costs and more.

Evaporative systems are not complex in principle. They use the cooling properties of evaporating water. As water converts to gas, it burns its heat
as energy.

The result is cooler water vapor.

It's simple. And yet, it's being used to cool the most advanced data centers in the world.

These systems have dozens of other commercial applications as well.

Facilities such as loading docks and greenhouses have been using these systems for years. They've proven to be dependable and low maintenance solutions.
They're environmentally friendly, inside and out.

Their commercial success is your benefit. Interested in an effective and affordable way to cool your home?

Let's go over the benefits.

Adopt an Evaporative Cooling System for Your Home

Whether you're constructing a home or updating a home of your own, there are three key reasons to adopt this technology. We'll compare evaporative
systems with standard HVAC systems.

You'll understand the benefits along the way.

1. You Will Save a Lot of Money

Saving money is the most practical benefit. It uses far less electricity than an HVAC system. If HVAC systems use 40% of your energy, that means huge
savings on your electric bill.

You'll also save on maintenance. The parts are simple and easy to replace. They don't have any special electrical or installation requirements either.

Let's consider the professionals.

Data centers have massive cooling requirements and costs to go with them. There's a good reason companies are trending towards evaporative cooling.

2. These Systems Are Environmentally Friendly -- Inside and Out

HVAC systems use refrigerants like CFCs, which emit greenhouse gas. Evaporative cooling uses pure water as its cooling agent.

Their carbon impact is zero.

Some are skeptical about the true cooling power of H2O. After all, commercial refrigerants are chemically designed to perform. But according to David
Kluas, director of marketing for large cooling systems at Emerson Network Power:

"[Evaporative] units save operating costs by using outside air and the evaporation of water to provide the desired supply temperature throughout most, if not all, hours of the year."

The interior of the home will enjoy environmental benefits as well. These systems use moist pads, which are highly effective at filtering dust and
pollen.

Unlike refrigerants, the moist pads a very cheap to replace.

They naturally add moisture to the air as well. Moisture is good for residents as well as wood and fabrics. The environmental benefits go both ways.

3. These Systems Are Easy to Transport and Deploy

Commercial building requires scalable resources. Imagine easily deploying these cooling systems for all your projects. Using this technology at scale
will dramatically cut costs and labor for your business.

Perhaps you're a resident on the move. Convenient evaporative window units help you bypass HVAC systems or get along without one altogether.

You can take ownership of your low cost, environmentally friendly solution.
